I love the looks of the old classics but driving them is a reminder of how much things have improved.
Before I go back to buying some 60's or 70's car I should hop on a Ford 8N tractor and get that need for a rough ride and coarseness out of my system.
I had a semi-exotic car in the past and maintenance costs were high. Leaving it out in a parking lot was perilous. Why do all these seemingly normal people lose their minds to sit on your car to take a selfie? I don't even SIT on my fenders and hood of my own car not wanting to bend it!
Now I'll worry less with a less expensive car I can drive to walmart in quiet comfort as fast as I care to go (not blindingly fast if I don't feel like being arrested and having my car impounded).
A nice c7 Z06 pulled up next to me at a light today. He was in a turn lane and I wasn't in the camaro so no urge to compete. As nice a car as it was I didn't feel too envious.
